The pedestal member 2 has a mounting tube 24 that is inserted into a mounting hole 14 provided in the counter 10, and a screw portion 242 is formed around the mounting tube 24. A fixing member 26 is engaged with the threaded portion 242 of the mounting tube 24 from below, and the counter member 10 is sandwiched between the base member 2 and the fixing member 26 to be fixed.

Next, FIG. 3 shows a cross-sectional view taken along the line AA in FIG. 3 is a detailed cross-sectional view near B in FIG. 3, and FIG. 5 is a detailed cross-sectional view near C.
The spout member 4 is provided with a spray port 44. Inside this, a spray nozzle 440 is provided and connected to a function b provided under the counter via a hose (not shown). By the water supply from this functional unit, the spray water discharge is performed from the spray nozzle 440 through the spray port 44.
As described above, the push button switch 42 is provided at the tip of the spout member 4, and the tact switch 420 is provided therein. When the user presses and moves the push button switch 42, the tact switch 420 is indirectly pressed. Thereby, a signal is transmitted to the functional part via a signal line (not shown), and spraying is performed from the spray nozzle 440.

  Further, an LED 6 (light source) is provided inside the spout member 4 in order to irradiate light toward the spray water spouting at the timing when the spray water spray is performed from the spray nozzle 440. This LED 6 is configured to emit light to the outside through an LED window 60 (light transmission window) provided on the surface of the spout member 4. At this time, a drainage flow path 62 communicating with the outside is provided between the LED window 60 and the LED 6. As a result, the spray water discharged from the spray nozzle 440 collides with the object to be cleaned and water splashes are generated, and even when water enters the spout via the spray port 44, the arrow indicates the arrow. As described above, the water can be drained out of the spout through the drainage channel 62.

  Further, a drain hole 64 is provided on the upstream side of the spout member 4 from the LED window 60. As shown by the arrows in FIG. 4, even when the water splash generated by the spray water discharged from the spray nozzle 440 collides with the object to be cleaned and enters the spout through the drainage flow path 62. It becomes possible to drain from the drain hole 64.

  The spray port 44, the LED window 60, and the water drain hole 64 communicate with each other inside the spout member 4. Accordingly, as described above, even if water enters from any hole, the water can be discharged from the other hole toward the outside of the spout. And in order to suppress that water permeates into the upstream side of this space and leaks under the counter via the spout member 4, a flooding prevention means 66 is provided upstream of this space. .

  The pedestal member 2 includes a flange portion 29 placed on the upper surface of the counter 10. As described above, the fixing member 26 is engaged with the screw portion 242 of the attachment tube 24 from below, and the counter 10 is sandwiched between the lower surface of the flange portion 29 and the fixing member 26 via the washer 262. Therefore, the structure is fixed.

  FIG. 5 is a perspective view of the vicinity of D viewed from below. The base member 2 including the flange portion 29 described above is covered with a cover member 8 from above. The pedestal member 2 and the cover member 8 both have through holes 22 and 82 communicating with each other at the center thereof, and the spout member 4 is inserted into the through holes 22 and 82. The spout member 4 includes a horizontally long rotation restricting groove 46 on its side surface. And it fixes so that it may not fall upward by the rotation control member 28 which penetrates the insertion hole 244 provided in the attachment pipe | tube 24 from the outer side of the base member 2, and is inserted in the rotation control groove | channel 46.

  The rotation restricting groove 46 has a lateral width longer than that of the rotation restricting member 28. Therefore, the spout member 4 is held so that the spout member 4 can rotate in the range from one end of the rotation restricting groove 46 to the opposite end. At this time, the rotation range of the spout member 4 can be widened by increasing the width of the rotation restricting groove 46, and conversely, the rotation range of the spout member 4 can be narrowed by reducing the width of the rotation restricting groove 46. become able to do.

  Further, the rotation restricting member 28 includes a pair of locking claws 282, and the height Ha between the ends of the locking claws 282 is slightly larger than the vertical height Hb of the insertion hole 244. ing. As a result, when inserting from the outside, the locking claws 282 are bent and inserted toward the sides approaching each other, and after passing through the insertion hole 244, return to the base, so that they are fixed by a so-called snap fit.

  Further, the rotation restricting member 28 includes a slope 284 on the outer peripheral direction side. Even if the rotation restricting member 28 is loosely inserted and is in a so-called half-slip state, when the fixing member 26 is subsequently engaged with the screw portion 242 from below, the fixing member 26 and the inclined surface 284 are It will be in contact. When the fixing member 26 is further advanced in this state, the upward force is converted into the inner circumferential force by the inclined surface 284, and the rotation restricting member 28 is automatically inserted in the inner circumferential direction, and snap fit. Can lead to a fixed state.

  Further, by configuring the spout member 4 with a pipe material, the thickness of the spout member can be reduced. Thus, even when the rotation restricting member 28 is fixed by snap fitting, it can be easily engaged.

  Next, a method for fixing the cover member 8 will be described. FIG. 7A shows a plan view of the pedestal member 2, and FIG. 7B shows a top view of the pedestal member 2. The pedestal member 2 has a plurality of elastic deformation portions 84 formed in the vicinity of the upper end along the direction of the outer edge. The elastic deformation portion 84 is configured such that both ends thereof are supported by the pedestal member and the central portion thereof is elastically deformed in the radial direction. Further, a locking projection 844 is provided in the vicinity of the central portion.

  As shown in FIG. 5, when the cover member 8 is inserted from above the pedestal member 2 and the elastic deformation portion 84 is elastically deformed, the locking claws 86 of the cover member 8 and the locking projections 844 of the pedestal member 2 are brought together. The cover member 8 is fixed by being locked to each other. Thereby, the cover member 8 is fixed so as not to drop upward.

  At this time, the rotation direction positioning means 88 provided in the pedestal member 2 and the cover member 8 come into contact with each other, whereby the relative rotation between the cover member 8 and the pedestal member 2 is restricted. With this configuration, it is possible to prevent the cover member 8 from rotating, the locking claw 86 and the locking projection 844 being unlocked, and the cover member 8 from falling off.

  At this time, a washer 9 that is an inelastic member is provided below the elastically deforming portion 84. The washer 9 functions as a restricting member for restricting the downward deformation of the elastically deforming portion, so that when the cover member 8 is inserted from above, the elastically deforming portion is deformed downward and is destroyed. It will be possible to suppress this. Further, by using a washer as a restricting member for restricting the downward deformation of the elastic deformation portion, even when a plurality of elastic deformation portions 84 are provided along the radial direction as in the present embodiment, The deformation of all the elastic deformation portions 84 can be suppressed with one member.

  Further, the washer 9 is colored red, unlike the elastic deformation portion 84. By doing in this way, it becomes possible to confirm at a glance whether or not the washer 9 is inserted in the assembly process, and it is possible to suppress the forgetting to insert the washer 9 and the breakage of the elastically deforming portion 84 associated therewith. It can be done.

  The pedestal member 2 and the cover member 9 are respectively provided with O-rings 48a and 48b. The O-rings 48a and 48b are located between the spout member 4 and function as spout member holding means for holding the spout member 4 by its elasticity. Furthermore, it functions as a sealing member that seals between the spout member 4, the base member 2, and the cover member 9, so that water applied from above does not enter the inside of the counter 10. -ing

  The embodiment of the present invention has been specifically described above with reference to the drawings. The present invention is not limited to this embodiment, and can be appropriately designed without departing from the spirit of the invention. For example, the faucet device can be applied to various types of faucet devices, such as a device that has a functional unit, and that manually opens and closes a valve.
